Civil War coming to Brunswick Community College

BRUNSWICK COUNTY — The Civil War is coming to Brunswick Community College. This weekend Civil War re-enactors — like those at the Cameron Art Museum back in February — will be part of Back in Time, sponsored by BCC’s Institute of Lifelong Learning.

Organizers say the goal is to show people what life during the war was like through a historical camp-life demonstration, including cannons and artifacts.

Historian and Civil War re-enactor Jim McKee said, “We always have a good time when we do these. And what we try to do is try to educate the public, try to dispel a few myths about the Civil War, or the late unpleasantness, but generally just show to the people what it was like to be a soldier back in the day as best as we can.”

Back in Time is Saturday from 3:00-6:00 p.m. outside Odell Williamson Auditorium at Brunswick Community College in Supply. It is free and open to the public.
